I want to do that thing where you rotate the board a 180 (just the board) and I have a question... do I have to ollie first? cause I've seen Stef Tor do it in the Maven DVD and it looks like she doesn´t ollie, she does it on the surface... Also how do you do the trick where only you rotate 180, but the board doesnt?

Thanks cosmocat, I checked it out, still have to practice some more to do the whole all in one motion thing... and max... your mocking is useless... if you dont have anything constructive to say... better save your words to urself...

cris, when just the board rotates thats called a shuv-it and when just u rotate its called a body varial, know the names of the tricks will help you look them up on wakeskating.com, also do a search here on wakeworld, your bound to find some good tips here as well. Good luck and have fun, let us know how it goes.

For shuvs the key is to make sure that the board is perfectly flat and not on edge when starting the trick. Another thing to note is that your knees are bent when you start to kick the board into its rotation. I also do shuvs with only one hand on the handle and that helps so I don't get pulled over. Just wanted to provide you with a couple of quick tips, but practice is most important. You'll be sticking them in no time. Cheers!
